NHL Player News

Hoglander (lower body) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jets, NHL.com reports.

Hoglander missed the Canucks' final four games ahead of the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, but he'll be back in action during the team's first matchup following the layoff. Over 18 appearances this year, he's recorded two assists, 28 hits, six PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 11:32 of ice time.

Hellebuyck will not be in the lineup against the Canucks on Wednesday.

Hellebuyck was designated as a non-roster player by the Jets to free up a roster spot. It will be Eric Comrie who gets the road start against Vancouver, while Domenic DiVincentiis serves as the backup. After his phenomenal performance at the Olympics, Hellebuyck should continue to see the bulk of the workload for Winnipeg, which could start with Friday's road game against Anaheim.

Catton (upper body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Dallas.

Catton has five goals and 11 points in 40 outings in 2025-26. He was last in the lineup Jan. 29. Catton will probably serve in the bottom six if he's healthy enough to return Wednesday. Catton isn't the only question mark for Seattle going into the game. Jaden Schwartz (lower body) and Ben Meyers (lower body) also might return from injury.

Meyers (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Dallas.

Meyers has five goals and 11 points in 31 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 21 due to the injury. Berkly Catton (upper body) and Jaden Schwartz (lower body) are also questionable, so there are a lot of unknowns regarding Seattle's forward corps going into Wednesday's action.

Turcotte (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will feature in Wednesday's matchup with Vegas, per NHL.com.

Turcotte returns to the lineup after missing six games. Despite recording 15 shots in his last eight appearances, the 24-year-old center has been unable to put one into the net. With Vegas missing several Olympic participants, Turcotte could have a decent chance of breaking out of his slump Wednesday.

Anderson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve and will be in the lineup versus Vegas on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

Considering Anderson is currently stuck in a 26-game goal drought and has chipped in just two helpers over that stretch, his return to action is unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact. Still, having the defensively-minded blueliner back on the top pairing could free up Drew Doughty to jump in offensively.

Sissons (upper body) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, according to Hannah Kirkell of Vegas Hockey Now.

Sissons missed 12 straight games before the Olympic break. Across 41 appearances this season, he's recorded three goals, three assists, 61 hits, 26 blocked shots and 15 PIM while averaging 11:48 of playing time.

Ersson (lower body) will serve as the backup goaltender for Wednesday's road game against Washington.

Ersson missed Philadelphia's final three games before the Olympic break due to the injury. Dan Vladar is set to start against the Capitals. Ersson has an 8-10-5 record, 3.51 GAA and .856 save percentage in 24 outings in 2025-26.

Benson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

Benson won't play during Buffalo's three-game road trip, which begins against New Jersey on Wednesday, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. The Sabres also put Jordan Greenway (abdomen) on the IR list, while officially activating Josh Dunne (undisclosed), Josh Norris (upper body) and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) in corresponding moves. Benson has seven goals and 26 points in 42 outings in 2025-26.

Yakemchuk was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.

With Belleville not in action until Friday, Yakemchuk won't be an option for a call-up ahead of Thursday's clash with Detroit. The 20-year-old blueliner has yet to make his NHL debut and may have to wait until next season to do so. Still, with 25 points in 41 minor-league tilts this year, Yakemchuk could have decent future value in dynasty formats.
